Court Upholds Arrest Warrant for Ihuoma Nneji
On June 16, 2026, the Federal High Court in Abuja, presided over by Hon. Justice M.G.
Umar, dismissed an application filed by Ihuoma Julia Nneji, daughter of Chief Frank Nneji, founder of ABC Transport. Nneji sought to set aside a warrant of arrest issued against her on April 16, 2025, by the Nigeria Police Force.
The warrant was related to allegations of criminal defamation and cyberstalking involving a lawyer based in Abuja, Barr. Henri Uzochukwu.
The court ruled that there was no merit in Nneji's application and emphasized that it could not restrain the police from carrying out their statutory duties. Consequently, the warrant of arrest remains valid, and the police are authorized to arrest Nneji wherever she may be found.
It remains uncertain whether she will voluntarily surrender to comply with the court order.
